    I don’t expect this team to win much, part of the reason I hated trading our first next year

    I want to see better offensive game planning by Slowik and co., better time management, and more urgency.

    Pierce needs more runs, better blocking, and more involvement with Schultz and Tank.

    Is that too much? Lmao

    You should get all that with more playing time and chemistry between the players and coaches. Once guys stop botching assignments and making the right reads it should look better. Everything is still brand new it needs to get broken in a bit.

    Anybody thinking this team was going to come out of the gate kicking ass was foolish. Rookie QB, rookie starting center(hurt), not much depth. Most reasonable fans would hope that they make steady progress throughout the year. Both Stroud and Anderson looked legit to me. Anderson looks to be a generational DE and if so the trade will be well worth it. Of course, they could have gotten Anderson with the second pick, but the organization decided that they didn’t want to waste another year developing a QB and believe Stroud is going to be very good. I don’t think we can really base how good/bad the trade was after one game or even the full season based on wins. If Stroud sucks all season, then sure b**** away.

    Anderson is my favorite rookie. I know you believe Stroud will be good, I do too and that’s the problem.

    Need to use the quick passing game as part of run game especially with oline health and tank dell. That should settle in cj quicker and hopefully soften the lanes for pierce.

    Giving Tank Dell a larger role is fine, but if they can't fix that O line, I'm not sure how much good it'll do.

    Laremy Tunsil isn’t practicing today. Looks like a vet day for him.

    Texans RT George Fant is practicing today. Left game with shoulder injury. Good news for the o-line

    Texans LB Blake Cashman is practicing today

    Texans safety Jalen Pitre is at practice but he’s sitting in a chair off to the sideline. Wearing a jersey and sweatpants. He returned from the hospital Monday with a bruised lung

    Texans safety Jimmie Ward is not practicing. He missed last week with a hip injury

    Texans WR John Metchie III is practicing

    Tank Dell goes in motion, Tank Dell chips the DE, Tank Dell does an 'out and up', Tank Dell runs through the attempted defensive holding, Tank Dell takes it to the house.

    Tank Dell goes in motion, Stroud throws a lateral pass to Tank Dell, Tank dell takes the pass and passes the ball 40 yards down the field to a wide open Tank Dell, Tank Dell takes the pass to the house.

    Game over.

    Robert Woods is the best lineman Nick Caserio has acquired.
